That's mine! I'm just slow about posting photos here- others get to posting before I do and I don't want to be redundant.
 
On the second-to-last one (the black and white one), I love the interplay of the sky and buildings. Very sci-fi and animated, much like the post-apocalyptic landscapes in the Matrix film.
 
a bunch of really nice ones i've seen recently

^ that is a flattering angle for Avalon North Station...

That building definitely has better and worse sides...
 
Gotta be a drone shot, right?
That's hovering right above the public garden...
Very cool

I'd love to see this again with One Dalton in there.
 
absolutely 100% true (DZH)... not to mention increased traffic isn't just coming to the West End; a bomb is about to be dropped on the West End, and all over. Think of the traffic influx from from North Point, Bunker Hill, etc all the way to Allston Yards. Yikes....

So painfully obvious in this one that Storrow needs downsizing.

I disagree 100%. Storrow is absolutely vital for driving through Boston. This is clearly taken at an off hour.

I just wish they'd cover it...

There's no doubt that Storrow is a resource for moving people, but a parkway (that can't even handle buses!) is the least efficient possible mode to run there. (absolute worst people per lane-mile per hour) If you have a sincere desire to move people, you can only conclude that Storrow needs to lose its car-only restriction.

And note that North Point (Green Line), West End (2 Greens, a Red & a Blue), and Allston Yards (West Station)--the places that will be generating trips --are all on rail transit.

Ergo, the smart use for Storrow is as a surface transitway, either electric bus or Green Line, and for this the T has left a stub at North Station that would permit the Green Line to be extended out Storrow to Kenmore and/or West Station.

Surface Green Line or Silver Line would take about the equivalent space of 3 traffic lanes (one half of Storrow's current paved width). It'd be quiet and electric--a vast improvement for abutters.

It would also return about another 3 lane's worth of land, which I'd propose to use as: a one way loop for taxi access & a dedicated bikeway. The rest would be for footpaths, & greenspace (leisure)
